Changing the Keywords of the Dark Lords (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 17
“Before we begin the debutante ball, His Imperial Majesty has a few words.”
Ashud beside the Emperor was nothing more than a young child—neither more nor less. Standing next to Ashud was Grace, his aunt and guardian. Beside her stood the imperial family members in a neat row. Delina recalled the capital city engulfed in flames.
Tyrant Ashud.
The vivid image of him calmly watching as the entire capital burned into an inferno haunted her. At that moment, his eyes had been utterly empty, devoid of any emotion.
What could have turned him into such a person?
Those present here would never know—that the small child before them might one day bring about the empire’s downfall. Yet for now, everyone merely clapped with smiling faces.
“I congratulate all the young ladies and gentlemen making their debut tonight, and I hope you enjoy this banquet.”
With a brief toast, Haier raised his glass—a signal marking the official start of the banquet.
‘Ah, so now it begins…’
Music filled the ballroom. The first to dance were the debutantes and their partners. One by one, the children walked toward the center of the hall.
Delina moved naturally among the children while quickly scanning for Jake and Jane.
Fortunately, they were far away, and knowing the dance formation for the debutante ball, Delina headed toward a spot where she wouldn’t cross paths with them.
Soon, all the young ladies and gentlemen stood neatly in a single line. It was a group dance where partners switched between boys and girls according to the beat.
‘Starting with this piece right away?’
It was a piece notorious for mistakes—partners could freely change, and its fast tempo made it difficult for many.

“Right. He arrived this morning. It’s about time the kid woke up, after all.”
Omg omg Omg he is actually back! I forget where he went but I’m interested to see how he could have possibly improved his skills. Looks like he still unhealthy, sleeping in so late. I think he is on the smaller side compared to the MLS.
At the voice, Mernin froze. The noble ladies and gentlemen who saw his face bega
I wonder if it is Noah, it could be Ashud. Idk id really want to see NOAHas the ML instead of the typical crown prince~ but I’m a fan either way
Celine’s murmuring about the heat gave Delina a glimpse into the terror she must
Del is so observant and really smart to notice the reason! I wonder if Celine had anything to do with her rewinding time. Honestly where did Celine even come from?!

I wonder how well Zen understands Del’s speech. Also does the Duke think of her fondly? Does he even know how to laugh?? He calls her Jester so he definitely thinks she’s like a clown. I also wonder how the OG FL is like, the one everyone was obsessed with. And the girl who was Gideon’s lover, I wonder if she had a unique power that gave her a second try

The kids are really cute!! They are only 12, but they still have childish tendencies while still being powerful. Truly good luck to Del, especially with the Duke having an unusual fondness with training the kids. Cause what do you mean your trying to X a child??
